Vintage/Antique/Rusty Crusty, Handmade and Repurposed Decor. Always sourcing unique items! Alittle about the name: “Lower 40" is an informal American colloquialism that refers to a piece of undeveloped, remote, or heavily wooded land at the far edge of a property. The phrase originated from the 1800s Homestead Acts in the United States, under which farmers were granted plots of land measuring 160 acres. Because the 160-acre plot was easily divided farmers typically designated the two furthest pieces of land the “lower forty". **The connection: I reside on a family farm that is approximately 160 acres - the majority of the farm is located above where my house sits..therefore my home is considered to be situated on the “Lower 40”
